“Rooftop with heated pool and 360° views over Sydney Harbour Bridge and the skyline, open until 10pm.”
The Kimpton Margot Sydney occupies an Art Deco building from 1930 in the heart of the CBD, renovated in 2023 by IHG with the brand's Californian spirit. We head straight up to the rooftop: heated pool, teak sun loungers, unobstructed views over the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Tower. The rooms play on midnight-blue velvet, brushed brass, tufted headboards, with 3.20m ceilings that air out the space. The Wilmot restaurant serves a contemporary Australian menu, local produce, chic brasserie vibe without dress code. Service is laid-back yet precise, typical Kimpton, with complimentary wine happy hour every evening in the lobby. From 245 € a night, it's good value for a central 5★ in Sydney, especially with the pool and pet-inclusive policy ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Kimpton Margot to business travellers wanting a central 5★ without the palace label, and to couples in their thirties-forties who prioritise design and location over space. It's a hotel for rooftop lovers, laid-back happy hours, and those travelling with their dog. Families find their place thanks to interconnecting rooms and the pool, but the vibe stays resolutely adult after 8pm.
